I mean, you don't have to create your own LS either.. Just work on a successor to the current builds, together. That is the reason of opensource, right?

Yeah except that after releasing the LS originally as GPL, they pulled it back and refuse to distribute it, even though it was licensed GPL (once GPL, always GPL).
Thus, one point of failure was artificially created, which would be fine if that point didn't fail. But when even their own appointed liaison can't reach them, and they guard the code that allows people to use what IS out there.... well, you do the math
Look, I respect the heads of this project a LOT. I just wish they'd explain why things are the way they are, and maybe do something to eliminate this bottleneck.
